JBL Pulse 3

The JBL Pulse 3 delivers solid Bluetooth audio, but the main event is its LED light show, which makes the speaker a tad pricier than alternatives with similar sound quality.

Solid audio performance with rich lows and crisp, well-defined highs. LED light show is unique and entertaining. Waterproof.

Better sound quality is available for the same price.

The JBL Pulse 3 is priced like a speaker that might have some sub-bass power to it, but it sounds more like a speaker that costs about $50 less in that regard. That extra cost money goes into the design—those dancing LEDs aren't free, and neither is...

JBL Pulse 3 review

More a party light than a speaker

Balanced sound profile ; 360-degree sound ; Built-in microphone

Short battery life ; Reliance on Connect+ ; No NFC

The JBL Pulse 3 has a great sound, but it’s still not the best sounding speaker in its territory. But, what makes up for the price is its water resistance and the cool party lights The JBL Pulse 3 offers an attractive party light feature, which might...

The Pulse 3 provides an attractive, waterproof light show that is indeed eye-catching. It also ticks all the boxes in terms of Bluetooth speaker features, such as speakerphone functionality. But its weatherization and all that bling comes at the...

JBL Pulse 3 review: The JBL light show returns with waterproofing

The JBL Pulse 3 is the 3rd generation of JBL's popular Pulse series and this time you won't have to worry about the Pulse getting wet.

Nice sleek design ; Great build quality ; Fun light show ; Waterproof

Lacks some low end ; Light show doesn't really completely sync with the music

This is a great speaker with a fun light show. It sounds really nice but does lack the low end that I prefer. I would recommend this to those who aren’t in need of heavy bass and prefer a more flat sound.

The JBL Pulse 3 is the successor to the excellent JBL Pulse 2, retaining the LED lightshow finish that proved previously to be a well-integrated feature rather than just a gimmick. Will the JBL Pulse 3 speaker build on the strengths of its...

JBL Pulse 3 Review

The JBL Pulse 3 is available for about Rs 15,000. The bluetooth speaker is waterproof and puts on an amazing light show

Well built ; LED lights are elegant on the device ; 360-degree audio ; Built-in Siri/Assistant support ; Waterproof

Battery life could have been better ; Some similar priced speakers have better sound

This has to be the best LED implementation on a JBL Pulse speaker. It looks like a Lava Lamp and can easily blend into your home decor. It can also be an attraction at a picnic or a party with the light show. The battery life suffers, clocking in under...
